About Jenifer
I have a background in inpatient nutrition and nutrition education, as well as personal experience managing nutrition status in the setting of chronic illness. I understand the challenges that come with managing a health condition and the role that nutrition plays in disease prevention, progression, and overall well-being. I want to help you feel empowered and motivated to implement lifestyle and dietary changes that support your health. I aim to help you overcome the barriers that make it difficult to reach your nutrition goals and to support you in implementing realistic, sustainable strategies to achieve them.
Approach to care
My approach includes creating a judgment-free space that fosters open communication and respect, and that eliminates shame or guilt surrounding food and diet. In our sessions, we will focus on dietary modification and adopting sustainable eating habits to improve your health while maintaining your personal style, culture, and preferences. We will utilize balanced dietary patterns and evidence-based principles to provide the nourishment your body needs and support your overall well-being. Together, we will work on building the skills and confidence to manage your nutrition.
Your first session with Jenifer
In our first session, weāll explore your eating habits, relationship with food, lifestyle, and your social, medical, and cultural background. Weāll also discuss your nutrition goals and what you hope to achieve through our work together. This conversation will lay the foundation for future sessions that are individualized and aligned with your unique needs.
